I will say that it was a bit sloppily applied, but it was on there. I think the gasket will do you the most good. there were some parts of the inside that didn&rsquo;t appear to be covered.</p>RobertC. on New Product Friday: Get Under ControlRobertC.urn:uuid:638d9c43-a738-bbdd-6dce-49f74372e2732013-07-29T10:05:27-06:00<p>I use it only as a phone to augment my Google Voice service which I have at home. I have a 100 minute per month pay as you go plan, and bought it refurbished.</p>Toni_K on New Product Friday: Get Under ControlToni_Kurn:uuid:c8234bc2-c773-e717-8e59-f7f7b71213d92013-07-29T09:17:46-06:00<p>Yup!

The combining of a 5050 LED plus the WS2811 is what manufacturers are calling a WS2812. As a comparison, the WS2801 can do both constant current as well as constant voltage. The WS2811 is only constant current.</p>Lefty4000 on New Product Friday: Get Under ControlLefty4000urn:uuid:08e849ed-5777-b530-8691-6cb36d1b14fd2013-07-26T10:18:58-06:00<p>an iPhone in an open-source engineering building!?
